It’s not a lie: D’banj stages a comeback

One of the most popular music videos on Nigerian blogosphere right now is D’banj’s It’s not a lie. Featuring Harrysong and Wande Coal, it was shot in USA and has all the trappings of a superstar’s video.

However, while the video is trending online, there have been diverse reactions trailing it. Some people feel it is a good comeback for the Koko master, while others are of the opinion that he lacks the talent necessary to make a good singer.

One commenter on Instagram, @hisvideo wrote, “I love this video; it is so fresh and clean. The song also has a nice vibe to it. Up King D’banj.”

Another, @ifexii, wrote, “The chorus of this song is so catchy and I don’t think I can get tired of listening to it.’’

Meanwhile, @pvrvgigm_shift, wrote, “More like Harrysong feat Dbanj because D’banj did not deliver any good lyrics. Please work on your lyrics (too short and weak).”

@hicq313 wrote, “I am very sure Harrysong wrote the chorus of this song. Even then, D’banj couldn’t deliver his verse well. I think this bros (sic) should go into another business. Music is not for him.”

D’banj, who recently became a father, is however not bothered by the negative comments as he has continued to promote the video ethusiastically.

When Sunday Scoop sought to speak with the singer, it was gathered that the three artistes who featured on the song are abroad at the moment.
